well it seems that the RFL are to investigate the incident and he could be called up before them. He has tried to say he didn't know anything about it according to the article.

Silly asking a question about the golden boy on here.
Here's what you'll get

a) remember when such and such did it way back when, what happened to him?
b) it was Leeds who booed him playing for England, so fair enough he does that
c) you all hate us, you're all jealous cos you want Sam in your side, we are the best we are the greatest, we all hate Wire though because they are arrogant.

My actually take on it, fine him a couplle hundred quid and leave it at that, 1 match ban? really? not for me, i want him playing next week at the HJ, if you do ban him make it v the Sheep a week later

As I put on the Leeds board, Wigan fans went nuts over Mark Calderwood throwing a rugby ball into the Wigan fans at the DW Stadium a few years ago after scoring a try but appear to think this is ok.

Tell me how you would feel if Danny McGuire had have done it to you ? I don't imagine you would be saying "oh it's ok, he gets booed for England".

However, that said, congratulations Wigan, you won, and that's the bottom line. I have 2 kids who keep my perspective on life, so I won't be going mental over this, it's really not worth it, petulant, yes, stupid, yes, making a mockery of our game yes, but wanting him banning for "x" games, nah, just have a word and leave it. As before, well done on your CC win, if the Grand Final is a repeat it will be a cracker

I don't understand people gettting their knickers in a twist, it doesn't lower the profile of rugby or make US look stupid, it just makes Tomkins look stupid fine him and be done. I'm thinking today how many times i've heard the F-bomb at work today or the C word and this is just today, get a grip people.

he's only human, and I suppose Ryan Bailey is a brilliant role model

This could be the first and last time I ever agree with you

Well said

I'll be honest, I hate the little runt and I've tried in the past to give him the benefit of the doubt with him being a young lad thrown into the limelight but he's just a horrible little runt with total lack of respect in taunting fans and worst of all his opposition players.

However he's a very good player, the best player in super league and IMO has walked man of steel but his lack of respect spoils him and he don't need to do it.

Like I said, great player but horrible person.

he was a d***head today

sam will say it was jusy an unfortunate camera angle and he ment nothing by it.

Just today?

Lee Smith got nothing for something a lot worse. Tomkins will get 5 games if the RFL are being themselves...

Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Bobbie Goulding used to do that every time he played Warrington. The Leeds fans were all giving him stick, he was giving them some back, so what?

If he wanted a good laugh he should have "THATS WHY" tattooed on his left cheek and "WE'RE CHAMPIONS" on the right, then he can moonie any fans that give him stick.

Daft thing to do, wish he hadn't done it. But I can't blame him after the way the Leeds fans treated him in the exiles match (not that that justifies it).

What ban did eastmond get from the RFL when he did similar to his own fans? would be a good guide as to how the RFL view it. Note occasion cannot effect any punishment.

Saying that a two game ban would give him a rest
